BusinessWeek looks at data banks and in particular at Gannett’s offerings: "A big hit at Gannett’s Asbury Park Press‘ app.com is its DataUniverse.
There users can while away the hours dredging all manner of state and local
databases: home sales, crime statistics, school district SAT scores, inmate
records. If this sounds sleep-inducing, know that DataUniverse has notched over
4 million page views since its December launch."Here’s what the Asbury Park Press is offering, in their own words: "New Jersey public employees of colleges, authorities and local, county and state
governments for 2006. The searchable list shows locations, base salaries, salary
groups and those with three or more government jobs."If you ask for public employees making at least $125,000 a year, you get this list. The basic search form is right here.
